[@vusie3615]

Venice C Lol whaaaaat 😂😂😂😂

[@JohnDoe-us1ek]

Tonixxy When you “mirror” someone you’re talking to you’re basically making subtle movement to copy their posture, hand gestures, etc. pretty much reciprocating their same movements and energy, “mirroring”. I can say this works well when doing job interviews. (This is isnt mirroring) I used to be in a classroom with a girl next to me and one time I would keep switching my hand and arm positions while sitting down PURPOSELY to see if it would work, crossing my arms, one leg on top the other, one arm on the desk the my chin rested on my other hand etc etc. And every single thing I did she would follow. I would wait and hold the position to be sure that she wasnt just coincidentally doing it herself then wait until I was sure she was comfortable then I’d do a whole different position and sure enough her body would do exactly what mines did lmao that’s not exactly mirroring but to me it shows that she was to a degree looking at me or paying attention to me. Try it yourself. You’ll find yourself copying other people’s movements and gestures too without even realizing it when engaging in convos or interviews.

Damn, if it was that easy to get cash from the mafia, they could still run their credit operations and be a great competition to normal banks.

Riley Newton a lot of what he’s sharing is not new, pentiti e various investigations brought most of these things to light already.

[@lego4271]

It would reveal the existence of the mob if the killed such a public figure. If he appears to never be in danger, it makes people more hesitant to believe everything he claims. It's the same reason Henry Hill survived after Goodfellas. His right to stay alive was a carefully calculated plan.

My dad used to run circles in Europe (he retired age 50 couple decades ago and went living in Thailand) Been around it and seen what type of life this is. Never stepped into it, even when he wanted to offer me a good sum of weekly pay to go out there and collect. It’s a lifestyle most cannot here comprehend.and it’s not glamours, my dad had to at one point arm himself. One of his business partners house got shot up . Family house 6 bullets through the front door while wife and kids were at home. They had wiretaps (nothing on it they were smart) they know who we were, hell everybody knew. The flashy cars, bigger house, villa in Thailand for retirement. He paid taxes over his legal business.. Some here glamorously talk about it like It’s cool and makes them look like tough guys. I also seen the darker side of that life, a man that changed into a man that became numb. Towards the people he loves, marriage issues drug issues, protecting your part of the business. The loss of friends due to death or other suspicious circumstances. I can tell stories too plenty .. it’s not glamorous, or cool, or something to be proud off. I hand it to my old man he raised me well. But I never stepped into his footsteps and I am glad I didn’t ..

[@babygorilla2095]

I respect what the Italian mafia did in its day. No other gang in America has ever been able to duplicate the power it had in its prime. From the union to having influence in politics. One of a kind. But once the omertà was broken and the snitching began. It became just another gang. It couldn’t compete with the gangs that run the streets today. Mexicans alone have over a half a million gang members in America alone. Cartels grew abs with drugs came the power

[@vinsentstarynight]

“I die outside, I die in jail. It don't matter to me. I gotta die someplace.”-Sonny Franzese John Gotti staying true to the sacred code and rules of La Cosa Nostra was his biggest goal. After breaking many of those same rules at least he remained loyal to the one we all know as “omerta”. never rat on your friends and always keep your mouth shut. Real wise guys!

[@mrthusi9207]

[@STONESGAM]

They likely weren't gonna ask Franzese to do a hit or rough people up when there were 100 other guys that could do it who made much less money for the family. Why would the boss put his "golden goose" at risk of being convicted of a murder and cut off the millions of dollars he was bringing into the family. Especially when doing "work" wasn't his forte. That said...being a made guy...if they did ask him to do a hit he wouldn't have been able to say no.
